EAP772-Outdoor issue with AFC / 6Ghz

Hi,
I recently bought an EAP772-Outdoor (US) v1.0 AP from my local distributor in Singapore. While setting up, I realized there is no way to enable 6Ghz wifi.
By default, AFC is enabled, but I get the following error on the 6ghz radio page (6 GHz Band Unavailable, Due to regulatory requirements, the 6 GHz band is unavailable since your AFC location cannot be obtained).
I tried turning of AFC to see whether 6ghz can be enabled without AFC, but it did not work too
Can someone provide me some guidance on how I can make 6ghz work on this AP?
Thank you!

I am unable to update to the new pre-release firmware EAP772-Outdoorv1_1.3.1_[20250904-rel58599]. I believe the reason for this, is that the confidential "test" firmware I was sent from support a couple of weeks ago has a version number HIGHER than 1.3.1, even though it is older, as you can see:
When support first sent me the test firmware, they had to modify it because I had already loaded 1.3.1, so they had to artificially change the version number to 1.3.90 (which is higher than 1.3.1) It seems once again I cannot load the NEWER 1.3.1. There appears to be a block in place preventing users from DOWNGRADING to a lower firmware version number.
I want to upgrade to this firmware because I'm unable to properly backup my settings on this "test" firmware.
For reference, my support ticket# was TKID250813878.
Thank you

Hi @Rahzadan
To bypass this check, please downgrade to the official version 1.0.14 first. This should work.
After that, you can upgrade to the pre-release version succussfully.

There does not appear to be a version 1.0.14 for the EAP772-Outdoor. I did notice there is a 1.0.14 for the EAP772 however, but I am reluctant to try that as it is not the same product.
Regardless, the latest non-beta public firmware for the EAP772-Outdoor appears to be EAP772-Outdoor(CA)_V1 _1.0.6 Build 20250416:
After attempting to load EAP772-Outdoor(CA)_V1 _1.0.6 Build 20250416, I still get the same error "failed to check for new update". I also tried the latest non-beta USA firmware, EAP772-Outdoor(US)_V1_1.0.4 Build 20250320 and this resulted in the same error.
I believe the firmware upgrade check is present on the TEST firmware support had originally sent me. It does not seem to allow changing to a firmware version lower than 1.3.90, even if it is not a test firmware.
I believe the solution is you will need to bump the non-test firmware version higher than 1.3.90, or send me another test firmware (with a version higher than 1.3.90) that does not have the downgrade check in place - but I am not sure.
Thanks
